Ergo Insulated White Single Brood Box Beehive Set
Our Single Brood Box Beehive set is the base for all the Ergo PLUS hives we offer at Apimaye. All our 10 frame hives are shipped as single box hive (this hive). This means they have all the features, including the insulation, screen bottom board with pollen trap, queen excluder, top feeders, and 1 division board.
Ideal For:
New beekeepers who start beekeeping by buying package bees or nucs (Short for nucleus colonies). Bees will build the combs and fill it up with honey and brood in about 2-3 weeks. Keep in mind that it is difficult to maintain the colony in a single box hive. The colony will swarm when it get strong and congested. Therefore you need to either divide the colony to prevent swarming or need to buy supers of your choice.
Product Notes
- Superior summer performance in extreme summer heat since white is the most reflecting color.
- The price will change as the frame and foundation options are chosen.
- If you'd like to know more about our different frame options, you can read our blog post here, and decide which option is the best for you.
- Entrance color choices are purely for aesthetics, but if you have a large apiary with Apimaye hives, we'd suggest you mix and match the entrance colors to make it easier for the bees :)

Wood hives are so unstable, go with Apimaye and you wont be unhappy with the choice
I bought my first Apimaye hive a couple of weeks ago and installed my package Russian hybrid bees from man Lake… I checked on the bees a week and change after they were installed and they are absolutely thriving. This hive is one of the easiest hives to handle., the bees have already drawn, 2/3 of the hive and comb. I love the top feeders.. I gave them an extra boost once I installed them and I love how effortlessly it is for them to get to their syrup. I will definitely be buying another one of these hives hopefully this year.! Absolutely best purchase I’ve ever made for my Bees
Great products. Had some damage to one handle and latch on one of the deeps but only took an email and a replacement arrived in a day or two. If one minor criticism, I wish they would send the frames with foundations already installed like they used to do. Takes a bit longer to set up a hive when the foundation is just in the bottom of the box but that’s a minor thing. Still a very durable and quality product.
Love apimaye hives. Loved for design and easy use. Great for hot and cold Colorado extremes.
I have been educating myself for the last 2 years and I final did it! Bought this great hive combo and a package of bees, and I couldnt be more happy with the setup. The girls, da bees, seem to love their new home as much as I do! Thanks!
